Design
Available in black, blue, green, red, or white models, the Live 200BT in-ears feature clothbound cables extending from either end of the band that sits on your neck. The earpieces are lightweight and make a strong seal in the canal, provided you get the right eartips in place (JBL includes three pairs in different sizes). The aluminum earpieces snap together magnetically when not in use. Unlike many wireless earphones, these aren’t intended for use at the gym, so be careful not to toss them around or get them wet.
The controls are located on the right side of the neckband. There’s a power switch that also puts the earphones in pairing mode, located next to a status LED. On the outer panel of the neckband, again along the right side, there’s a three-button remote control. The central multifunction button handles playback, call management, and Bluetooth pairing; tapping it twice summons your connected phone’s voice assistant. The outer buttons raise or lower volume, or skip forward or backward a track depending how long they’re held down for. We’re not fans of combining those two functions on the same buttons, as it’s easy to skip a track when you mean to only adjust the volume.
Performance
Internally, the 8mm dynamic drivers deliver audio with a frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz. On tracks with intense sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” the earphones deliver solid low frequency response. The lows are pushed forward in typical mega-bass fashion, but they are dutifully represented, not overly boosted, and balanced out with crisp highs. At top, unwise listening levels, there’s no distortion on this track, and at moderate levels, the lows are robust without overwhelming the mix.Buy JBL Live 200BT Wireless in-Ear Neckband Headphones (Black) Best Price Online from CELLULAR KENYA,Nairobi
